TL;DR

It is possible that most patients with CML can enjoy a near normal life expectancy with access to TKI, and the 10-year relative OS derived from the imatinib cohort is favorable, and it is reasonable to expect that the results will remain at least as favorable with additional follow-up observation with dasatinib or nilotinib.
